Basis researcher @ralph_ep spoke at PestWorld 2026 this week about how AI and field neuroscience can help us understand urban rat behavior and inform rodent monitoring and mitigation.

We're at ICML this week presenting work on world models, dynamical systems modeling, and more. If you're here and would like to discuss over a drink, come to our social on Thursday evening! Link below.

New paper from Basis' Project MARA team and collabs. The ability to learn and use world models is a key aspect of human intelligence, but evaluating this ability remains elusive. In this work we propose WorldTest, a representation-agnostic, behavior-based agent eval framework.

We’re proud to announce the launch of AutumnBench, an open-source benchmark developed on our Autumn platform. This benchmark, led by our MARA team, provides a novel platform for evaluating world modeling and causal reasoning in both human and artificial intelligence.

At NeurIPS? Interested in software tools for causal machine learning and doubly robust estimation?
